In an effort to create a tighter feedback loop for your performance in the gym, beginning in January, we’ll be designating a strength benchmark and a conditioning benchmark that will be tested at the beginning of the month and then again at the end of the month. The benchmarks will change each month, but it will always be a pair: one strength movement and one conditioning workout.

These two workouts will be programmed into our normal workout cycle; no need for you to do them during rest days.

The benchmarks will give you a clearer idea of how you’re progressing and will give us a quick assessment of whether our programming is hitting the mark. In other words, it’s a win-win for all parties involved.
